Soils are among the main terrestrial reservoirs of carbon (C) and nutrients (NPK), playing a crucial role in sustaining food production and ecosystem balance. The accumulation, stability, and circulation of soil organic C (SOC) and nutrients are essential for maintaining agricultural productivity and soil system resilience.
Agricultural management practices such as incorporating plant residues, applying organic amendments, adopting no-till farming or using cover crops are widely known to positively influence SOC and nutrient dynamics. In operational contexts, tools that assess the impact of agricultural practices on SOC and nutrient dynamics, such as carbon models (e.g., RothC) and crop process-based models (e.g., DSSAT, STICS), among others, are highly relevant for planning and adopting agricultural practices that improve and conserve SOC and nutrients.

In this context, we warmly invite researchers interested in these topics to participate. We particularly welcome contributions on the following:
i) Studies quantifying degradation, mineralization, stabilization, and nutrient release from crop residues and organic amendments to better model SOC and nutrient dynamics;
ii) Research assessing SOC and nutrient dynamics across different pedoclimatic conditions at farm or field scales, to improve recommendations for precision agriculture;
iii) Research on agricultural practices in experimental and field studies that improve soil fertility by linking SOC and nutrients with physical, chemical and biological properties and with soil health and associated (directly or indirectly) processes as soil erosion or soil compaction.
